Since their discovery in the late 1960s, gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have established a reputation of being mysterious astrophysical phenomena. This well-deserved reputation is a result of complex physical processes hidden from observation, and extreme energies previously unobserved. GRB observations have provided measurements of several physical parameters, including information about the energy and the dynamics of these events. From the several decades of observational data, it is widely believed that GRBs have beamed emission, leading to their association with relativistic jets. The progenitor of the observed emission is still unknown, although recent clues have advanced our understanding. Due to observational limitations, we must rely on theoretical studies and computational simulations to further understand the complex physical processes. In this paper we discuss the link between GRB observable parameters and those required for computational simulations. Following the spirit of this conference on AGN, Microquasar and GRB jets, this information is intended for an audience with a wide appreciation of jets, but without detailed knowledge of GRBs.
